Choosing the right Hook bills as a pet for you and your family is very important, because you and your family members will be the caretaker and handler of the pet Birds or Parrots for a long time. I tell my friends and family who are thinking about purchasing these pets, that they require time and patience and companionship.
Charlie, our quaker parrot loves to get outside on his outdoor gym, as we call it. He climbs all over it, listening to the other wild birds, neighbouring parakeets and parrots close by. He mimics the sounds and whistles that the pet birds make. He is getting quite good at whistling, still not so good at talking, although we think he says tucker when food is coming, then thank you.
Training your Birds or Parrots takes some time and patients. I had two Quaker parrots that I rescued, and when I brought them home all they did was scream and bite, at first I thought it was because they were in new surroundings and all new people. The noisy behavior kept up, so I started to ask people who had experience with birds and Parrots training, how I could remedy their actions and noise.
When we bought our pet bird, Charlie, our Quaker Parrot, nearly a year ago now, he had already had 1 wing clipped. The bird breeder suggested that one wing is all that is needed to be clipped and it would be much safer for him and that most pet birds have this done.
Macaw birds are big, loud and attention-seeking and have a lovely exterior to match. These birds are definitely not for those who have busy schedules and aren’t ready to devote themselves, heart and soul, to the care and training of these beautiful creatures.
